My husband loves fishing. I don't think he's particularly good at it, but it's the only thing he loves to do, so for 27 years of marriage, we've gone to places like Gangwon-do (Donghae, Sokcho, Goseong, etc.), Gyeonggi-do (Anseong, Gimpo), Ganghwa-do, Jebu-do, and Taean-gun in Chungcheong-do. At every travel destination, we've tried fishing, but the wind made it difficult, it was too hot, or the Gyeonggi region was crowded, so we got tangled with fellow anglers and just had to apologize and leave. For years, we've had a great fishing experience in Jeju-do a few years ago, so this time we chose the relatively warm Namhae Island. Why the cold winter, you ask? My husband's company has its longest and most relaxed vacation period at the end of the year, so I booked a week-long, 6-night, 7-day trip for him to go fishing to his heart's content. But now that the trip is approaching, I wonder if we can survive a week without fighting. I was worried, but thanks to the host who texted and called the next morning after arriving at the accommodation to ask if I was uncomfortable in the cold, my enjoyable trip began.
You might think it's smaller than other accommodations, but it's not at all uncomfortable for two people. In fact, I like this place better because it has only the necessities in its place, rather than a spacious and messy accommodation with a lot of furniture. The floor is so hot that I have to turn down the temperature. Here are some winter sleeping tips: If you put your head toward the window, it won't be cold at all. On the first day, my husband slept next to the door and said it was cold, but from the second day on, we changed our direction and slept with our head toward the window and our feet toward the door. If you set the shower to the hot water time, you can enjoy hot water, and thanks to the kitchen separate from the room, we ate a lot of things like spicy rockfish stew (the first time I cooked fish I caught myself in 27 years) and grilled rockfish that we caught ourselves for several days. Except for the first day of our trip, the weather was so warm that the temperature was above 10 degrees Celsius even in winter. We went down to the breakwater in front of the accommodation and had fun fishing for four days and also enjoyed sightseeing to our heart's content at the nearby German village, Darangi Village, and the observatory. If you like activities or fancy things, I wouldn't recommend this, but if you need a relaxing and healing trip to relieve stress from work or the city, this is it. I recommend it^^ And the host seems to be a very attentive person, so if you have any inconveniences, you can feel free to ask anytime. What I thought was really fun was the regular trash bag outsideㅋ It was a wooden board that looked like it was handmade, with wheels attached to it. If you pull it forward slightly, the trash can pops out. It was so fun that I kept going out to throw away the trash. I guess I like this kind of thingㅋ Anyway, it was a fun time for a couple in their 50s to go on a midwinter fishing trip for a week without fighting once. I won't be able to go often because of my job, but I'll live a few more fun years with these memories. Thank you for the happy memories~
